[Shift General] Caid444:
Got it.

You know, most of the answers to my problems come to me when I'm not working on the problems themselves.

I reinstalled vista on my shift, and played wow again. While I was playing, I thought a lot about the crashes, there was no message from it, as to why it was crashing. Just a plain old BSOD with a screen dump message.

But it occurred to me that the tutorial here said not to bother installing the sound drivers from HTC for vista, as the sound drivers work just fine from win7. Well, they work fine in win7, but not in WOW it seems. This time I reinstalled win7, and used every driver from HTC (including the sound driver), it works ;)

So, to summarize, the sound drivers from the win7 install seem to crash WOW, probably a direct x sound issue, which is yet to be worked out.

Anyone who wants to use win7, would probably be best to use the original sound drivers from HTC as this problem could be quite confusing, especially when sound seems to work in most other areas. It's difficult to tell just how many other programs might crash on account of the driver issues I experienced, but who would know it's the sound driver with no message from Windows, and the fact that they work in the OS itself.

So, happy playing to anyone else who benefits from this knowledge as well.

Caid.

[XPERIA X1 General] smegger040588:
had lots of untidy contacts on my phone and sim,

I deleted all the contacts on my sim then using outlook and my phone i tidied up all my contacts.

I now want to copy my list of contacts back to my sim as a back up.

I can only seem to do this one by one which will take forever.

Any way to copy all contacts to sim?

Im using touch it 7.1 btw
[XPERIA X1 General] Doc_Debil:
Why you don't use PIMBackup 2.8 for your backup? One of the most important apps ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
- Read your X1 manual.

- Or search the forum (me myself answered this question twice)

- Or use SIM Manager, bundled with every ROM: there is a function called Contact to SIM........

After following this guide,

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD#Preparing_SD_card

A friend said do this to move all your phones cace to sd card

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

But my question is what are the cons and pros about it?

One thing I heard is it shortens its life, but how much of it is shorten?
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

this is the right code I don't have any issues atm. I'm using 16gb class6 may ext2 is 500mb but my I didn't move my /data/data to sd because I noticed a little lag if I move my /data/data to sd
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
the new sd cards are tested for millions of write cycles. you would have to write constantly for years to reach that. you will be ok. the worst is you would have to replace your card after a few years. by then they will have 100gb micro sd cards(maybe an exageration) .
[G1 Android Development] tanner2007:
someone said the first part is

/system/sd/
not
/system/sd

Which one is it?
[G1 Android Development] jrherras:
doesn't matter

system/sd

system/sd/

/system/sd

/system/sd/

they're all the same
[G1 Android Development] tanner2007:
Thank you, after looking at your siggy i see you have

" Cache, Dalvik-cache on SD"

there are two different caches? if so, should I move both?

I have apps on sd right now my class 6 chip, now I wanna move cache, all caches
[G1 Android Development] tanner2007:
Sorry to bump, just now I learn theres a few different caches, which are the phone ones that could help speed up the phone
[G1 Android Development] Dimath:
Oh, don't agree.

For the first two be the same as last two you need to be in the '/' directory.
[G1 Android Development] billc.cn:
I don't really think a normal card can last that long. Flash devices are divided to many "pages" and you have to write one whole page each time, so we have to use file systems that take this into account (e.g. yaffs and jffs). if you don't use such file system, a page could be re-written hundreds of times just to save one file. this is made even worse, in case of inode tables, journals, and frequently used files. (this is why they use ext2 with noatime.) your card could easily die in months!!!

also, android doesn't have file system check on boot and the linux design assumes all file system are intact (that's why you're forced to do fsck on normal linux boot), so if the fs on your card is corrupted, the os will not complain and will keep messing it up!!

don't cry when you have to wipe because the phone can't access dalvik-cache and hang on boot.
[Advantage X7510 General] Xotic_X_tremist:
I found a WAD theme on Lakeridge forum,a great vista theme by someone named Mehdi Bodybuilder...

Is Topaz is available for sale for US UMTS bands? In all the online shops i see this phone only with UMTS 900 and 2100. I am planning to buy one but i dont see one with UMTS 850 and 1900.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] guitphreak:
I'm still waiting for 850mhz. It clearly isn't out yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ronr9286t:
3G for AT&T US?

Does anyone have any info on whether and if yes, when, the Topaz will be offered with the US 3G bands??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
I'm Not sure which bands AT&T uses seeing I'm with T-mobile but here are the bands the phone has.

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

UMTS(2100+800)

3G on T-mobile does not work but I don't mind because Edge is fast enough for me. I had faster loading times on Webpages yesterday than my freind with a touch pro on Sprint's 3G. So ya. I don't know anyone with AT&T or else I'd throw the SIM in and try it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mush10:
If that is correct -----the UMTS 1900+850 part----- then those are the AT&T 3G frequencies. Where did you see those bands?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
If you go to Settings/All Settings/Personal/Phone/Click on the Band Tab it is under the Selet your GSM/UMTS band.

If I go to the mall today I will stop by the AT&T store and see if someone there is willing to insert their SIM in it to see if it gets 3G. If so I will post up.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sundar_amn:
That is great!! If you can check and let us know that would be a great help!!

Is UMTS band availability is all software/firmware related.. i thought thats hardware.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] d.cortez:
having those band settings does not mean it will work on US 3G networks. for example, the UK Touch HD (from the UK) has the same band listings as above but the radio doesn't support at&t's 3G bands (850/1900). it will work for voice and EDGE internet speeds without issue. it's a hardare limitation. 3 months after releasing the UK HD, HTC released a Telstra (Australia) version of the Touch HD that had the same band listings (as above) that works with 850 3G bands. Since Telstra uses the same 850 3G band that at&t uses, the Telstra HD can access at&t's 3G network. i'm speaking from fact because i have both the UK and Telstra HD versions.

HTC is known for relasing the same device with radio limitations: they did it with the Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch HD and they're doing it for the Diamond 2. if you want US 3G access - via at&t - on the Diamond 2 you'll have to wait until HTC releases the US 3G version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sundar_amn:
This clarifies. Thanks friend. Do you aware of any news on when HTC might release the D2 for US?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
verified today.... does not work on at&t. the guys at the store said that it is 1900/900 band not 850. 850od the 2g frequency. havnt checked on how correct they are on this but a quick google search will verify the frequencies.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sundar_amn:
A reply from HTC

See the reply from them below. HTC did not mention about any carrier like ATT or T-Mobile asked for this phone.. looks like this phone will never make it to US? That is a Bad news......

Hello Sundaram,

Thank you for your inquiry about the Touch Diamond 2.

We appreciate your inquiry about one of our new phones. Unfortunately, we do not remake our phones to work on a specific network, such as the AT&T 1900 band width, unless that carrier request us to make them that exact phone. If you do buy the Touch Diamond 2, we cannot guarantee 3G service since AT&T 3G band is 1900 while the Touch Diamond 2's 3G band is 2100.

I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Thanks for contacting HTC,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I own a HTC TyTn II and HTC Fuze (ATT) and now planning to upgrade my smart phone to HTC Diamond 2. I am really impressed with this phone and ready to purchase one. I live in USA and have a question about the 3G band availability of HTC Diamond 2. The phone is available in many online stores but they all have a specification like below.

Operating Frequency:

HSDPA/WCDMA: Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz

Does this mean that I cannot use this phone for ATT 3G networks in USA? Does HTC manufacture HTC Diamond 2 for US 3G band which I believe are 850/1900 MHz?

Is there any planned date of releasing HTC Diamond2 for ATT 3G networks? I appreciate your response.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MAK11:
The Diamond 2 IS COMING TO THE US WITH 3G SUPPORT in a few months. Stop this nonsense please.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sundar_amn:
What makes you to visit this topic and through a comment like this? I was not asking "you" this.

Besides, I am not working at ATT or HTC but trying to see if any other member of this forum has any news about this. If you dont like this topic just dont visit it and try to change your attitude. Otherwise you will become a great looser (i guess you already are).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mush10:
Clearly that is a pretty general statement that I believe most of us find to be true. That being said, do you have any more insight?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
If it's coming to the US with 3G I would just assume that it would hit Sprint first so still no luck for AT&T. Didn't ATT just get the FUZE in like Dec? Anyways the phone most likely to hit US carriers is The Pro2. Americans generaly (IMO) like a full Hard qwerty keyboard.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] arando13:
This was floating around a few months ago

http://www.wmexperts.com/htcs-entire-2009-lineup-leaked

Shows the topaz going to AT&T. I'm not sure how valid it is though, but it's something to cling to ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mush10:
Even if it does come to AT&T, I hope we see the unlocked version well before. HTC used to be the one company we could count on to deliver US 3G on newer releases. Now we seem to be stuck playing the waiting game. The odd thing is they released the TYTN and such when the 3G network was barely rolled out, now that it at least covers all major cities, we cannot get any love.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] gtrab:
I have been waiting a long time for this

Word is "HTC Topaz 210" (AT&T warhawk) will be released next month /(october) with the 850mHz UMTS "7201" chip (instead of the "7200" 900/2100 UMTS chip)

It will also be slightly smaller (1 mm less longer and wider)

I may drop around here if HTC beats the drum with this one

PS: sorry for resurrecting an ole thread, but we american users really miss good HTC 850mHz phones :o
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
I too am waiting for the US version of D2. gtrab, where did yo uget the info that US D2 will be slightly smaller. The latest info was from BG but I don't remember him mentioning any other spec except the obvious 850/1900 implementation.

[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
This might sound crazy - but could the time lapse be related to being out of signal range?

My commute goes through a tunnel, where I lose connectivity for about 5-15 min (depending on traffic). I've noticed that the only times I've seen the time lag is just after exiting the tunnel.

Could the two be related? Not sure how a clock widget would care about the radio...
[G1 Apps and Games] jsource:
Clarifications

I am the developer of Retro Clock Widget. Great to see that people actually like the widget! I would like to make some clarifications for the out of sync problems posted here. I have managed to reproduce the problem by using the G1 heavily (playing music, browsing the web and downloading from the market at the same time).

In order for a clock widget to stay in sync with the internal clock, a lightweight background service is needed. The problem is that Android can stop services whenever it desperately needs more resources. When this happens, the clock stops updating. In the current version of the widget, I check whether the service is still running every 30 minutes, and restart it if needed.

This is not ideal, so I am looking for alternative solutions. I hope to make an update later this week that is more stable (or can be recovered more quickly/easily).

As for the idea on 3D flipping animation, that was my initial plan. Unfortunately, the widget API did not provide me the flexibility to implement this easily.
[G1 Apps and Games] jsource:
The widget does not use any network connectivity, so this should not be the direct cause.

What I can imagine is that when the signal is gone, other apps or background services are becoming very active in trying to reconnect. This could cause the phone to try to free up resources, which might stop the widget clock update service.

Are you running many other background services (e.g. music, navigation, etc.)?
[G1 Apps and Games] giantcrazy:
I've noticed that the phone itself gets a little wonky when I'm outside of coverage (mostly just at the time that coverage goes out, and the moment that it comes back - I guess from the rush of apps trying to connect).

Not a lot of resident services, but there are a few apps there - Music, TuneWiki, Weatherbug, Mixzing - so enough to say that could be the cause.

BTW - the minor inconvenience is totally worth it for such a great app - thanks for writing it!

[G1 Apps and Games] ryan75:
To dev,

I use advanced task manager on occasion when my phone seems to be bogging down, obviously, the app is killed but the service still runs. This also causes the syncing to stop. Is there anyway you could add an action on long pressing the 'am' or 'pm' that forces a sync?
